If you're wondering what Wednesday has to offer, it doesn't get any cooler than this. Join me and my friends!Rubbing shoulders with working artists can be enlightening. Bubbling with new ideas and enthusiasm from this week's National Federation of the Blind Convention, Leslie Edwards Humez -that's me- will be painting PATS promotional goodies for a holiday sale and kickstarter fundraiser to support her tactile art for the blind initiative. Support PATS with the purchase of a snail icon and sign up for a chance to win a PATS tee!

Folks want to know why I chose a snail to be PATS company icon. Since it's in my nature to want immediate results, it's easy to become discouraged when results come at a snail's pace. I needed a reminder that no matter how slowly things seem to be progressing, every step forward is a step in the right direction. The Chinese are loaded with wonderful proverbs. Confucious said, "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."
